Long-Term Rentals in San Jose del Cabo: A Guide for Snowbirds

Your Winter Paradise: A Snowbird's Guide to Long-Term Rentals in San Jose del Cabo

Tired of cold, snow, and ice? You’re not alone. Every year, a growing number of "snowbirds" from the US and Canada flock to San Jose del Cabo to trade their winter coats for swimsuits. If you’re considering an extended stay of a month or more, this guide is for you.

What is Considered a "Long-Term Rental"?

In the vacation rental world, a "long-term" or "monthly" rental is typically any stay of 28 days or longer. These rentals often come with a discounted rate compared to the daily or weekly price.

When is Snowbird Season?

Snowbird season in Los Cabos runs from **November through April**. The most popular months for long-term stays are **January, February, and March**, when the weather is absolutely perfect—sunny, dry, and in the mid-70s to low 80s (24-28°C).

Pricing & Availability

This is the most important thing to understand: **high demand means you need to book early.**

• Book Early: For a Jan-Mar rental, you should be booking **9 to 12 months in advance**. Many snowbirds re-book their favorite condo for the following year before they even leave.
• Pricing: Monthly rates during the high season can range from $4,000 USD for a basic one-bedroom condo to over $15,000 USD for a luxury three-bedroom oceanfront property.
• Discounts: Don’t expect huge discounts during the peak months of Jan-Mar. The biggest discounts are found during the shoulder seasons (May, June, October, November) or the summer low season.

What’s Included in a Monthly Rental?

Most of our long-term rentals include:

• Utilities: Electricity, water, gas, and high-speed internet are typically included. Some may have a cap on electricity usage, so it’s important to clarify.
• Fully Furnished: The condo will be fully furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen, linens, and towels.
• Concierge Service: You’ll have access to our team for any needs that arise during your stay, from maintenance issues to booking activities.

FAQ: Long-Term Rentals

Can I get a better deal if I pay in cash?
No. For security and transparency, all our bookings are processed through our secure online payment system. We do not accept cash for rental payments.

Do I need a car for a month-long stay?
It is highly recommended. While you can get by with taxis and Uber for a week, for a longer stay, having a car gives you the freedom to explore, go grocery shopping, and truly experience all that Baja has to offer. We can help arrange a long-term car rental.
